There is some uncertainty over the identity of the composer Borntoft and of the cello sonata no. 10a by Valentini. The questionable work performed on this occasion was probably a composition by Giuseppe Valentini, who published 12 Allettamenti da camera, op. 8. Although none of these is in the key of G major, perhaps 10a was an arrangement or transposition of no. 10.
